Release Checklist | items to be completed for each release |
- Confirm anything outstanding for release with other maintainers on #besu-release in Discord
- Update changelog if necessary, and merge a PR for it to main
- Notify maintainers about updating changelog for in-flight PRs
- Optional: for hotfixes, create a release branch and cherry-pick, e.g.
release-<version>-hotfix
- Optional: for hotfixes, create a PR into main from the hotfix branch to see the CI checks pass
- On the appropriate branch/commit, create a calver tag for the release candidate, format example:
24.4.0-RC1
- git tag 24.4.0-RC1
- git push upstream 24.4.0-RC1
- Sign-off with team; announce the tag in #besu-release in Discord
- Targeting this tag for the burn-in: https://github.com/hyperledger/besu/releases/tag/24.4.0-RC1
- Consensys staff start burn-in using this tag
- Seek sign off for burn-in
- Pass? Go ahead and complete the release process
- Fail? Put a message in #besu-release in Discord indicating the release will be aborted because it failed burn-in
- Optional: Perform a dry run with https://github.com/consensys/protocols-release-sandbox to test the workflows
- Sync fork
- git checkout <sha of 24.4.0-RC1>
- git tag 24.4.0
- git push origin 24.4.0
- Manually run https://github.com/Consensys/protocols-release-sandbox/actions/workflows/draft-release.yml using
main
branch and24.4.0
tag
- Back on besu, using the same git sha as 24.4.0-RC1, create a calver tag for the FULL RELEASE, example format
24.4.0
- git checkout 24.4.0-RC1
- git tag 24.4.0
- git push upstream 24.4.0
- Manually run https://github.com/hyperledger/besu/actions/workflows/draft-release.yml using
main
branchand the FULL RELEASE tag name, i.e.
24.4.0. Note, this workflow should always be run from
main` branch (hotfix tags will still be released even if they were created based on another branch)- publishes artefacts and version-specific docker tags but does not fully publish the GitHub release so subscribers are not yet notified
- Check all draft-release workflow jobs went green
- Check binary SHAs are correct on the release page
- Update release notes in the GitHub draft release, save draft and sign-off with team
- Publish draft release ensuring it is marked as latest release (if appropriate)
- this is now public and notifies subscribed users
- makes the release "latest" in github
- publishes the docker
latest
tag variants
- Create homebrew release using update-version workflow
- If the PR has not been automatically created, create the PR manually using the created branch
update-<version>
- Run commands
brew tap hyperledger/besu && brew install besu
on MacOSX and verify latest version has been installed
- If the PR has not been automatically created, create the PR manually using the created branch
- Delete the burn-in nodes (unless required for further analysis eg performance)
- Social announcements
